We knew we
had to go from Boston to Frankfurt to Berlin to Munich to Kiev and then
back to Frankfurt and then on to Boston.

We knew we
needed an airline that would ease the pain and the fuss, soothe the way.

We
chose Lufthansa.

We made the right choice.

The company’s slogan: “There’s no
better way to fly” sounds like a bit of hyperbole, yet it is right on
target.

All the staff we came into contact
with - at airports, on the phone, in the Business Class lounges, on
the airplanes – were informed, courteous and helpful.

Flights were all on time or just a
few minutes or so off time. They were pleasant, smooth, expedited in all
respects.

Both in economy and Business Class,
one especially nice part of the Lufthansa experience was the information
flow provided on board each and every plane we happened to be on. A
cheerful welcome on board, time to destination, flying weather
conditions , weather at the destination.

In Business Class, the sleeper seat
is ergonomically shaped and adapts to any body shape. By pushing a
button this “PrivateBed” extends to a comfortable seven feet lounge with
just a slight incline allowing one to lie almost completely flat.
Undisturbed sleep is guaranteed - whether you lie on your side or on
your back.

And for
those who must work – excellent conditions are there: a large work
table, a laptop and file storage pocket, individual reading light – all
smartly integrated into the seat that boasts a PC power point with that
functions without an adaptor.

From its
origin in 1926 when the first passengers used a ladder to climb into the
Fokker-Grulich FII, Lufthansa has kept making major moves in the world
of aviation. Its sterling reputation has come not by accident but
through careful attention to details and passenger needs.

Many will
find the company’s slogan: “There’s no better way to fly” – one they
will take to heart.
